SK
Dual channel proximity probe module
Proximity probes are essential for monitoring large industrial machines like compressors, turbines, motors, and gearboxes. Traditional accelerometers mounted on the case are not suitable due to the significant difference in mass between rotor and stator. However, SECA’s SK offers a smart solution with dual probe drivers, digital data delivery, peer-to-peer communication, and customizable features. Compatible with existing API670 systems, SK is ideal for critical and balance of plant machines with oil-lubricated journal bearings. It enables monitoring of shaft vibration relative to the sleeve bearing and provides innovative compensation for electrical and mechanical runout. Perfect for retrofits without pre-machine probe tracks.

Stored in the cloud
SECA Cloud solutions, using an edge device to get data to a secure cloud database, allow users to see trends of vibration, axial thrust position and speed in real time.
Time waveform, spectrum (FFT) and XY orbit screens are also available in the software. The system provides an internal programmable alarm for machine protection.
The system captures the dynamic, analysis data, time waveform, spectrum, FFT, and orbits simultaneously from all SK modules associated with a particular machine and a 360° phase reference probe.
Total Runout Compensation
SECA’s innovative technology eliminates electrical and mechanical runout (ERO and MRO) by digitally compensating for inconsistencies in the shaft. This ensures high-quality vibration data, free from the effects of runout. The SK automatically records ERO and MRO during machine coast-down, reducing installation time and costs. Changes in runout can be caused by corrosion, rust, electrical issues, or physical damage to the shaft. The SK captures, records, and compares the data to previously stored values, notifying the user of any detected changes and allowing for timely action to be taken.
Field Customization Options
The SK configuration software is designed for customers seeking advanced configurations. Its user-friendly interface enables easy connection and configuration of SK modules, as well as customization of each channel application, including linearization. While SK is typically used with ANSI 4140 shaft material, it can also be linearized in the field for other ferrous metal alloys like stainless steel, K-MONEL, and INCOLOY. This flexibility allows technicians to adapt to different target materials. Linearization can be performed manually with a static calibrator or automatically using the SK Probulator, a high-precision target driving device.
